4 months...

4 months ago my little Andrew was born. He's fit into our family so perfectly, and it's hard to even remember what life was like before he arrived.

Andrew, at 4 months you are:

* the happiest little baby I've ever seen. You are always content, constantly smiling and trying to engage us with your eyes.

* You are starting to laugh out loud, and it's the most adorable baby giggle I've ever heard. It just melts my heart every time I get that deep down belly laugh out of you, I can't help but laugh right along with you.

* You love to sit up in your Bumbo seat and watch me cook.

* You are facing major surgery in the next several months which has me holding my breath and praying for the best.

* You are starting to grab for toys and will put anything you can get your hands on in your mouth.

* You LOVE to suck on your fingers. It doesn't matter if it's your right or left hand, your thumb or pointer fingers. You love them them all! One of my favorite sounds has become listening to you suck on your little fingers.

* You absolutely adore Katherine and Caleb and light up whenever they come near you. The smiles you give them warm my heart and remind me why I love being a mommy so much.

* When you get excited, you waive your little arms, kick your feet and squeal at the top of your lungs.

* You still wake up at least once (but usually two to three times a night) to eat. Thankfully, you eat and drift right back to sleep.

* You are an incredibly laid back and easy going baby. More often than not, you take your morning nap in your car seat and don't mind going to all of Katherine and Caleb's activities.

* You are such a strong little guy and are trying to sit up on your own.

* You are completely, 100% average. Today at the doctor you weighed 13 pounds 12 ounces (50th percentile) and were 24.5 inches long (50th percentile).
